Scrubbing audio enabled slows timeline

When I have audio scrubbing enabled timeline scrubbing is clunky and slow. It appears to only display various frames as if I were editing an MPEG file. (I am working with AVI's.) Turning off audio scrub solves the problem. The timeline responds lightning fast displaying every frame. Can someone explain why this is?
I am fairly new to premiere. I am just wondering if it is normal or whether I have an issue that can be corrected. The other edit system I have used for years scrubbed audio without an issue. Perhaps Premiere handles the audio differently.
Intel Core2 QUAD CPU 2.5 GHz
4 Gig Ram
Nvidea 9800GT
Vista 64 Bit OS

Turning off the "audio scrub" did eliminate part of my issue - I can now open a clip in the SOURCE monitor and scrub smoothly. However, when an in or out point is added to the clip, the scrubbing becomes very choppy. Tested the same clips in CS3 with no issues.
My machine is built for editing and far exceeds the minimum specs. Also, my clips are being stored on an internal SATA drive so it's not due to network or external drive lag. Any ideas on why this is happening? Why would it happen in CS4 but not CS3?
The issue is making it difficult/impossible to complete a project that contains hundreds of individual clips.

  • Is anyone having problems scrubbing audio?

    In previous versions of FCP, scrubbing audio with the mouse was fine. Since going to Mavericks and FCP 10.1.1, the strangest thing: scrubbing audio on my timeline is creating an annoying garbling of the audio. The scrub feature for editing my audio on the timeline is essentially worthless, besides annoying. Is this just my system or is anyone else in the community having a similar issue? Just curious. Thanks.

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

    As the title says, scrubbing any audio inside of After Effects causes the program to beachball, pegging processor use at 100.9% and the program gets marked as not responding. By scrubbing audio, I mean holding down the command key while dragging through the timeline to preview the video with the audio for timing cuts and hits. This is happening with projects that only contain an image sequence and a sound file, projects with 3d camera moves and multiple layers... pretty much if I have  to bring a sound file in to AE, I know it will crash when I need to check the audio.
    I have tried opening a fresh project with only an audio file (a new project for each a wav, a mp3, and an m4a) and attempting to scrub through the timeline causes AE to freeze.
    I am beyond frustrated at this point, as quick projects have turned in to days of work. Any ideas on how to revert AE back to a usable product are greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the delay in response, I was on vacation and have just gotten caught up enough to return to this issue.
    I had the most recent Wacom drivers when reporting the issue. There was a new version released today and I have updated to that. Updating the wacom driver did not resolve the issue.
    OpenGL is disabled. The issue persists with OpenGL enabled.
    I disabled "hardware accelerate panels" and I am able to now scrub through a single audio track of any format on the second try.
    I attempt to scrub through a track and my machine beach balls for a minute
    I regain control of the program and am able to scrub through a single audio file
    When I get to a second audio file in the timeline my machine beachballs and After Effects stops responding just like before
    Here is the most recent crash log - http://pastebin.com/cxBujE9F 
    This happens when switching from a wav to a wav, form a wav to an aif, wav to mp3, mp3 to wav, etc. It will freeze for a moment on the first file and completely hang on the second file.

  • Warning "RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames" after scrubbing audio in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

    The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where a memory leak occurs while scrubbing audio (holding down the CTRL or Command key while scrubbing). This memory leak can eventually consume all free RAM, which can lead to the warning message "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" when you try to initiate a RAM preview.
    While we investigate this problem, you can avoid the bug and memory leak by not scrubbing with audio. When the problem occurs you can resolve it by closing and restarting After Effects.

  • Freezing issues with AE CS3 (Scrubbing Audio & Video, Rendering)

    I have a Mac Pro 8 core 2.8 (Jan 2008), 6GB Ram, Mac OS 10.5.2 (Clean Install), AE 8.0.2, QT 7.4.1, ATI Radeon 2600...
    I can scrub video by dragging the now line, but when I hold down the command key to scrub audio and video, After Effects saves a copy and freezes up every time... Doesn't matter sd or hd comps... I've tried removing both AE and QT plug ins & Codecs to see if any were bad... I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling...
    Not sure if this is related, but After Effects also saves a copy and freezes up whenever it finishes rendering a composition...
    Aside from that everything else works fine, so I can get work done, just slows down the workflow a bit...
    Never had problems with AE CS3 on my Dual G5/Tiger, Though I'm not sure what I need to do settingswise on Intel/Leopard... Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    First of all I want to thank Jonas and Mylenium for your suggestions... Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, but I had a few deadlines to meet this week...
    I tried both suggestions... I was still getting crashes...
    Just an hour ago, I figured out the problem... I also have a MOTU 828 firewire audio interface plugged in, and it was set to output After Effects audio... as soon as I turned it off, I could monitor scrubbing audio, and I was able to render without crashes...
    I'm assuming that anytime After Effects would send audio to the 828, it would crash (including the chime after rendering)... I never had this problem before with my G5/Tiger setup, so I never considered it... I guess thats where I should have started in the first place... In the meantime, I'll have to bring this bug to the attention of MOTU and see if they can figure it out in their driver...
    Thanks again guys!

  • How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9, for some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?

    How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9?
    For some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?
    Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
    Please  Help

    What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
    Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

  • After Effects CC 2014 not scrubbing audio

    Hey, I'm using After Effects CC 2014, and none of the usual shortcuts are scrubbing audio (I've tried command-drag, ctrl-drag, and alt-drag). I'm not sure where the problem is. Is there something new I'm not aware of or some kind of preview setting that I need to adjust?
    Edit: When I scrub the audio, the volume levels change in the audio panel, but no sound is produced. When I do a RAM preview, the sound is there.

    I have 13.1.1.3, I'm running OS 10.9.5, and which system specs would be relevant? Just the hardware overview?

  • Raw files WITH audio appear in timeline WITHOUT audio

    I have many files that absolutely HAVE audio appear with none in the timeline. The track itself is there, but the waveform is flat, no sound, and nothing in the source monitor. However, when you "reveal in finder" that particular clip, and play it through VLC, there IS audio.
    My thought is that the metadata associated with the clip is corrupted, be it xmp, cfa, or pek.
    I have run into this problem several times now. As far as I know, there is no easy way to have premiere to"redo" the audio conforming. Short of mucking around manually to find and delete all the metadata associated with that clip, I don't konw what to do. And I feel like even that doesn't always work...
    For this particular project, I am collaborating remotely with another editor, so I completely understand the problem - the project files not routing to the same metadata or soemthing. That said, I did try to "reload" the footage and point premiere back to the original on my machine, but it still comes in with no audio in the timeline. I think it even tried to conform, but it clearly didn't do anything. Premiere thinks there's no audio at all.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Any advice as to how to do that most efficiently? "Clean cache database" in the media preferences doesn't equate to "delete all cache." Its cleaning the cache for old projects or something, right?
    And it is extremely difficult to manually delete these files, since many of the clip across many different projects stored in the cache folder share the same name, so the pek and cfa files are basically the same names too. no way to know which is which, save for painstaking attention to each file's modification date.
    does it have anything to do with the XMP files too? Or is it just the pef and cfa? Which is the culprit here?
    Thanks for your help, Jim.

  • Scrubbing Audio in Sample Editor-Icons missing

    My Sample Editor's toolbox is missing both the Solo button and pencil tool.
    As I don't have access to the solo tool, I can't scrub audio. I do have the arrow, hand and zoom icons..just no icons for solo and pencil that are supposed to show up underneth them. I've reinstalled logic express 7.1 but to no avail. The "Audiosuite" menu is also not there which is far less of a concern. Anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK. Thanks. I thought that might be the case. It just seems like audio scrubbing should be a basic enough function to have in both versions of Logic.

  • Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

    i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

    thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

  • Playing, Pausing, Stopping Audio in a Timeline

    I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline?  I have added the audio, play and stop button.  When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.
    Thanks.

    Set the audio options on "stream" for the timeline. Then - a blank keyframe would do just fine. When you need the audio on, put it again and adjust the start point in the properties panel.

  • After Effects Playback 27 fps (Real Time) Audio is Slow

    Hello,
    I have Adobe After Effects CS 5 running on an HP Z600  8 core workstation (12 GB RAM) on Windows 7.
    When I import any video AVI, MOV, etc and I preview with RAM the audio plays slow and it reports fps: 27 (real time)
    When I link comps from premier I think it is causing lip sync issues.
    My co-worker has the identical computer and when importing the same video, his reports fps: 29.97 (real time) and audio play fine.
    I have looked around for settings that may affect this but nothing seems to help.
    Multi-threading? Open GL issue?
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Premiere Elements 11 + Windows 8 pro = slow timeline scrolling!

    Hi!
    I experience slow redraw of the timeline clips when I scroll,
    which makes it very difficult, slow and unpleasant to edit!
    This in nothing new to you all, as I have read in many posts about this problem!
    And everyone is asking (below these posts) questions like:
    "do you have the latest QuickTime codecs?" or "do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
    or that our pc are slow or that we work with strange video formats or to change to no thumbnail in the clips or that its
    the antivirus fault or whatever.
    It is not all these!
    As I have read:
    -It can happen in many versions of Premiere Elements(maybe in all of them, I don't know)
    -It can happen in both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards
    -It can happen in all hardware configurations CPU/motherboards
    -It can happen in all windows versions and both 32/64 bit
    So I am guessing it is not our fault.
    Can Adobe finally fix this problem with an update? It's been so many versions until now!
    please... Is it so difficult?
    Can't the programmers see what are we talking about? Can't they fix the programme?
    Before I bought Premiere Elements 11 I had the 9 version in windows 7(64bit)
    The same problem, slow/laggy timeline redraw when moving back and forth.
    The solution I found was to disable the Aero feature in windows 7!
    And oh my god... the timeline then was so fast and smooth, I was so happy to edit!
    So I compromised with that(disabling aero).
    Recently I have upgrad the same PC to windows 8 pro(64 bit) AND bought Premiere Elements 11. (hoping for speed in every possible way!)
    The slow timeline scrolling still happens in both PRE9 and in PRE11.
    And guess what? in windows 8 pro you can't disable the "aero feature"!!!
    You can only change some visual settings, and even if I disable all of them, nothing changes!
    So are we really stuck with the laggy timeline scrolling in windows 8???
    Premiere Elements 11 is so much faster in all other things (exept the timeline scrolling)
    In the preview window for example. It can play really smooth, in real time WITHOUT render preview
    some pretty difficult compositions I make! multiple layers, with greenbox and many other filter effects!
    Which in Premiere Elements 9 (in the same PC) the preview play was very laggy!
    (don't forget that with aero disabled in PE9(win7), same PC, same complicated compositions, timeline scrolling superfast!)
    I think they made some pretty good graphic card use in the preview play in PRE11!
    I present and edit a youtube show with Premiere Elements with demanding compositing and everyone thinks I use Premiere Pro CS 
    version or After Effects CS. But I don't, I want to be legal and I can't aford the prices of these applications
    so I buy and use the Elements series which are very powerful as well, if you know what to do and HOW to do it!
    See for youselves my show I posted today(in Greek, I am from Greece), which I edited in PRE11.(pefrect greenbox, perfect!)
    http://youtu.be/HdKAKI6P8tU?hd=1&t=1m28s (open in a new window)
    or move time to 1:28 from the below youtube video window.
    But unfortunattely the timeline scrolling made my editing unpleasant and slow!
    My question is: Will I, (now that I have upgraded to windows 8 pro 64bit) have to edit ALL my next shows/videos
    with the slow/laggy timeline scrolling??? please tell me something to hope for...

    I have an ATI/AMD FirePro  v4800 1GB GDDR5 with the latest drivers for this card (8.982.8.3)
    Is my video card not compatible?
    this slow redraw of the timeline happened way before
    and everytime a new driver version came up I had installed it but that didn't change anything.
    Only with aero disabled I would enjoy a fast timeline scrolling in windows 7. (now, not possible in windows 8 pro)
    Bill how can you explain this? Same video card and everytime with the SAME NEW drivers, aero on=slow timeline, aero off=fast timeline!
    Is there some kind of a fix that we can always wait from our graphics card companies to include to new drivers??? (for how long???)
    or maybe is it all up to Adobe and its own programme?
    Are we all supposed to have old video display drivers?
    Can someone make some kind of a poll for people who have this problem to vote to see where this problem apears, in which configurations, in which graphics cards? (assuming they have latest drivers)
    so we all finally know what/where is the problem.
    I love the premiere elements series and thats why I want this to be solved.
